Do all epileptics have free will? How about Alzheimer's patients? Are the latter simply just "choosing" to forget the names of their children and grandchildren? How about those with Dissociative Identity Disorder ("multiple personality disorder")? How can different individuals with different (sometimes, opposing) wills exist in the same brain? How about those who have suffered a stroke resulting in aphasia? Are they just "choosing" not to speak? How about the young woman (as documented by Professor Steven Pinker) who got into a car accident, having her head crushed, losing nearly all of her long-term memories, including, the fact that she was a recent newlywed? Did she just "choose" to forget her recent marriage?
The list is just endless.
